Does Rowan Atkinson Want Mr Bean To Come Back? | The Graham Norton Show 

He deserves an Oscar for his Existence.

He actually does look like the actor that played Mr. Bean.

I love how Jeff Goldblum is paying attention the whole time. Like he is mesmerized by him.

I know it’s his native tongue, but Mr. Atkinson’s command over the English language is exemplary. His vocabulary, his diction, his articulation, his speech pattern, his perfect and crisp pronunciation of every word - every thing is total perfection. He makes the language sound so beautiful, it’s absolutely relaxing listening to him speak. Which is an irony considering he’s taking about Mr. Bean here. He may be known the world over for Mr. Bean but my favourite work of his is Blackadder. The man deserves a knighthood. Living legend.

Mr Bean is such a versatile actor, his portrayal of Rowan Atkinson here is excellent

As a kid I used to think that mr bean was an actual person and I thought he used to play Johnny English

Timing, the key is timing. The way he told the story in the parts department, just keep focus on his timing. The way he delivers the lines. the story telling skills are beyond great. He's a genius of comedy no doubt.

“This bizarre conversation in which the more I tried to claim that I was the person whom he thought I merely resembled, the less he believed me” - just a wonderfully constructed sentence, I must say, especially the “whom he thought I merely resembled” part!

Made three generations laugh without saying a word. Class.

Do people remember how Mr Bean started. A light came on & he fell from the sky on to a cobbled street

It is impressive how the other actors are hypnotized listening to Rowan Atkinson speak... nobody interrupts... The admiration is enormous. The best comedian on the planet

I love his British accent. It's like a poem.

I don't think there is anyone like him. He has so much class and is so well spoken, yet he is one of the best comedians alive.

No one will never ever be able to replace Rowan Atkinson as Mr. bean. 😍💞👌

The man who made the whole planet laugh without saying a single word turns out to be the most articulate human being I have ever heard.

I was on a ferry a couple of years ago going between some of the islands in Greece. The boat was filled with people from all over the world, we were all sitting in rows looking up at this tiny tv on the wall, playing Mr. Bean. It was so magical seeing all these people from different places, speaking different languages all laughing together - truly one of the rare screen performances that has transcended language. BEAN!

He's the definition of class

His pronounciation of words speaks volume in terms of clarity. Listening to his voice is so relaxing. The fact that his astounding way of speaking is not used in Mr. Bean, a show that centers on farce and action.

His delivery of even this story is masterful, proper genius.

He's definitely a well-spoken person. We all love him 😊.

Give this man a knighthood, he is an absolute treasure. what a wonderful, humble man.

It's so weird to hear him talking :D

The resemblance **pause** is uncanny. The way Rowan pauses gets him two laughs, instead of just one laugh had he completed the sentence straight up. That is timing. brilliant comic Rowan Atkinson. He knows how to get the most out of material.

0:53 at that moment, that little laugh is he contemplating the whole story in his head and thinking: "yeah, this could be funny to be told", and then proceeds to do a perfect monologue where sometimes he breaks a phrase in three parts and sometimes he delivers a lot of secondary information at lightning speed. Smart is kind of an understatement about him.

I grew up watching Mr. Bean and I totally forget how absolutely eloquent he sounds. What a fantastic guy.

Rowan atkinson has a pure British english accent

you can tell he is a good comedian when people laugh throughout the story, and not just at the punchline :)

Sir Rowan Atkinson is a legend! I'm such a huge fan 🤗

The only person in the world who doesn’t have haters 😱 🤯😂

His face expressions are........ PERFECT!!!

The man which penetrated every corner and every heart in the world, without speaking a single word... ❤️

Even at that Age he still got that humor that makes all ages laugh ❤️

his accent is so damn satisfying my eyes are sweating

This man is a LEGEND

This scene lives rent free in my head! Haha

Give this man as many Oscars, Grammy's, people's choice awards as we can. He is just so iconic

Love how everyone is laughing and Rowan is just sitting there with a poker face while telling funny stories.

Rowan Atkinson ages like a fine wine..

A masterclass in how an introvert can tell an anecdote and capture the whole room's attention

Rowan Atkinson is probably one of thee greatest when it comes to British actors, up there with Rik Mayall and David Jason.

The legend we need but don’t deserve..

Imagine that guy he was talking about watching this... "Oh look, it's that man I met the other day. Now he's pretending to be Mr Bean on television."

What an absolute legend 😂, long live Rowan Atkinson.

Watched this couple of times and never gets tired of it. I find it relaxing just hearing his voice to think that he made the world laugh without uttering a single word. A legend and a man of class. Respect...🙏❤

Rowan Atkinson told that last story just perfectly. 👏

What a classy man and tremendously talented comedian !

For someone who is recognised for a character that barely speaks, he has absolutely spectacular voice and pronunciations.

His delivery, the sound of his voice... Perfect!

When you watch Mr Bean your whole life and now you hear him talk Me: Wait, that's illegal

2:12 Those two seconds bring back memories of 10 years.

He is so articulate as well. Such a gentleman

He is such an amazing, intelligent, polite speaker. O have so much respect for him.

"I bet you wish you were."😂😂😂

2:15 Mr. Bean's unique nostalgia act. XD

0:03. I like how the audience laugh

Rowan Atkinson is by far the best Mr Bean impersonator

My dad had a stroke that changed him completely. But the one thing that brings his old self and my old dad back is when he’s laughing whilst watching Mr Bean ❤️ Thank you x

*This guy made our childhood awesome* :') *Bring back Mr.Bean series*

Rowan Atkinson is a legend. His work as Mr. Bean will always stand the test of time and breaks down international barriers. The character is comedy genius. But oddly enough I think Mr. Bean does him a massive disservice. Everyone goes oh look it's Mr. Bean, when you look at his body of work and Rowan is simply one of the greatest comedians of all time imo. Look at all the comedy skits he has done, you could tell he was a bloody natural from Not the Nine O'Clock News when he was young. Then you have Blackadder which is gold! Not to mention Johnny English and he is the voice of Zazu in the Lion King! To me he perfected dry British humour. Mr. Bean I love but let's not reduce Rowan down to one of his characters.

Has he done any audiobooks yet?? I can listen to him for hours. Some talents are just unmatched.

Rowan Atkinson is a comedic genius! One of the greatest of all time.

goldblum and atkinson on the same show. that's just too much to handle.

His eloquence , tone and voice is the most satisfying thing in the world 🥰🥰

I can watch Mr.Bean till my death bed..love the humility and down to earth nature.love you Sir 🙏

rowan needs a star of fame and an oscar.

He is someone who we can call perfect🔥💯

He has never spoken a word, but made the whole world laugh.

One of the funniest guys I've ever seen. What a talent - plus he's such a nice guy!

I remember seeing an Interview with Rowan Atkinson where they ask him the same thing, he said he didnt want to bring back Mr Bean because he didn't want the character to look Old. He always wanted Mr Bean to stay relatively young. That way the Character seems almost timeless, ageless. Thinking about it i agree, i grew up with Mr Bean always looking a certain way, and while i know its just an actor, seeing him age would be pretty sad :(

I wish I could speak only 1% like him...so elegant and eloquent.

Such a wonderful man. Incredible actor, so well spoken and naturally funny. I love to watch these shows where I can properly hear what he has to say.

The story with the lookalike reminds me of a story when Charlie Chaplin entered a Charlie Chaplin lookalike contest and came on 3rd.

*Rowan Atkinson* is a Living Legend , he's one of the G.O.A.Ts🐐

Am i the only one who *STILL* watches Mr. Bean?

His voice is like music to the ears yet this man made the entire planet laugh without uttering a single word....

The man who made people laugh for years without saying a single word. What a legend!

Everyone talks about Mr. Bean. But has anyone heard of Blackadder? It's pure magic.

I have always thought that Rowan Atkinson looks a bit like Johnny English.

I'm from Malaysia and I watched Mr Bean when I was a kid, the live action and the animated series.. it's so amazing

Rowan reminds a lot of Eddie Murphy in the following way: He's very timid and reserved in normal conversation, not feeling the need to be funny all the time. However, he can suddenly and spontaneously burst into comedic genius and have people grabbing their chest in laughter with simple stories and voices.

Mr. Bean is very famous here in tbe Philippines. Ive watched the Mr. Beans movie in theatres. I still cant believe he talks normal like us. Lol

It's so weird to hear him talk 😅

I regularly come back here to listen to this story and to the way he tells it. Somewhat is an exercise of comedy and english at the same time.

He just has IT - the magical and natural gift of making people laugh. Unique man.

What an amazing storyteller

I had a professor at Indiana University who used to play Mr. Bean videos before exams... we all would arrive early just for the comic relief and to de-stress before the test. 👍

The way he laughs is making people lough

Rowan Atkinson has the most gorgeous eyes!!

This is my first time seeing him acting normal

2:12. That classic laugh from Mr Bean

Probably the only man with zero haters in the entire planet.

I want him to be *Immortal*

Modern Day "Charlie Chaplin" - One of the Finest Actor in Industry.

He’s so articulated man. Damn! Wish I was too but getting my thoughts through my mouth isn’t easy.

Sir Rowan is not just a great actor but a genius one😂😂😂😂

Can he beat Goku tho?

Why, in God's name, is he not "Sir" Rowan Atkinson?

2:17 Classic Mr. Bean’s facial expression!

His timing is perfect!

In Austria it is a tradition for some people (my family included) to watch Mr. Bean 3-4 hours before New Year. It plays in the main television transmitter orf 😏👉🏼
